Hi Guys. You are all superusers on hclecatalog and I've given you the password. Any other readers, please email me if you'd like to join the team and we'll talk. We need lots of help from folks at all levels of expertise. Don't be shy!

Liza is working on today (Sat., Sept. 28, 2013)
  • Comparing the Omeka Dublin Core fields (attributes?) with the HCLEcatalog fields.
  • Trying to decide what Item Types we need and which of the old fields are unique to certain Item Types
  • Figuring out how to use the CSV import plug-in
  • Figuring out how to map the old Access catalog into cvs formatted spread sheets so we can do the bulk import.
  • Wondering how to import old catalog entries for which there is no image.

If you have answers to these puzzles, please post them below on this page with an anchor link in the list above. (I had to switch to html to put in anchors because I couldn't find a way to do it in the wisiwyg editor.) Bob sent me a very helpful email this early, early this morning which I've posted here
